At Reliant we love to see our missionaries called into greater opportunities.  On a regular basis our missionaries sense God is calling them from the US to an international ministry. This page is intended to help you understand the steps along the way and the timeline needed.

Steps in the Transfer Process

titleRelease to Assignment and Roundtable Call

International Release to Assignment 

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameIntl Release

Since this transfer involves a new ministry assignment and new international support goal, a new release to your international assignment will be required. A few key things happen after the Release to Assignment has been approved:

  • Plane tickets may be purchased
  • Salary will change to the international needs-based salary calculated in the SGW
  • Insurance will change to international coverage

The Round-Table Call is a simple, yet important time when Reliant, the missionary and the new supervisor meet one last time before the missionary's departure.  We review plans for the arrival, the first few months of ministry, first furlough and safety issues together. We also formally commit the missionary to their new role at this juncture.  The call is usually scheduled by the missionary and held 1-2 weeks before departure.  It takes 30-45 minutes. 

 

 

Getting Started

When a missionary wishes to move internationally, it helps if you will reach out to Reliant 6-12 months prior to their desired deployment.  Answering the following questions will help us serve you and begin the transfer process.

MultiExcerptNameMTD Hopes & Timeline
  • When do you plan to start MTD for your international role, and how much time do you plan to devote to MTD?
  • When do you plan to transition away from current job responsibilities?
  • Do you need to change your employment status while you raise additional support (you have the opportunity to change to Associate or a Part-Time status in order to accrue funds more quickly)? If so, when?
  • When do you hope to attend MTI cross-cultural training?
  • When do you hope to complete your fundraising? (Fundraising must be completed in order to be released to your new assignment.)

  • When do you hope to move to your international ministry location?

At 50% - Plan Training Logistics

    • Register for CrossCultural Training - usually Reliant Missionaries utilize  COMPASS training with MTI – make sure these plans have been approved by Reliant and your current supervisor first.

    • The Missionary registers for MTI when they reach 50% of their goal. The aim is for them to attend when they have 80-95% of their goal.

    • The cost of MTI is covered by funds that are raised by the missionary.

Around 80% - Attend Cross-Cultural Training

    • Official transfer happens in Reliant's databases. This reflects a transfer of responsibility from the previous U.S. assignment to the future International assignment and updates ministry information on reliant.org profiles (if not already updated).Aim to attend COMPASS training with MTI around this time.
      • Be aware, there will always need to be four weeks between the end of Compass and Departure for the international assignment to finish.
